This is a great classic hat for springtime formal events; whether it is a Ladies Day at the Races, or a Wedding event.
It is actually one that I bought in the prestigious millinery department at Jenners on Princes Street (now closed) in the early 2000s. It was a bit of an impulse purchase and I have never worn it. I had it kept packed away since I bought it. So it is completely pristine, clean and unworn.
It has its maker's label inside for Emma B, as photographed.
It is a fine cerise pink colour. It is made of a fine straw with a high crown and shorter rim. It is decorated all about by woven matching pink and black ribbons. These are loosely applied and crossed over randomly for decorative effect. There is a hard mesh black floral embellishment and tendrils of pink feather quills with the tips trimmed to form the shape of arrowheads. It is unlined. The hat is lightweight and not heavy to wear.
The colour is more of a darker cerise shade than suggested in my photos.
It is a nice large size and will fit most heads. I have listed it at £40 which is a fair price for this. I think paid a lot more for it at Jenners back in the day. The interior of the hat has a diameter of 7 inches.
It will have to be sent to you in the UK with Royal Mail Tracked Post (Medium Parcel). This will be applied to your order at the checkout.
